BEST ANSWER:Sissy, you have plenty of time to see them bloom! Of the ones I bought three years ago, one is in full sun and blooming freely. Magnificent. A second one is healthy and bushy but without blooms, mainly because I think there is more shade. I fully expect it will bloom next year.

Customer Reviews

I bought 10 bare-root Ludwig Spaeth lilacs last year, on sale. They didn't put out new leaves that summer, and I worried that they wouldn't make it through our zone 5A winter in Vermont. Now in their 2nd summer with us, they are all healthy! No blooms this year, but healthy leaves. I expect them to take off next year. If you're planting a lot of lilacs or other shrubs for a hedge, this is the way to go.

We bought this for my sister in Va. she could not find purple any where near her home. I knew that they always had them near us at Miller's Nursery and wasn't sure how Starks was after they bought them up. They did not disappoint.This is a nice little bush. We had gotten two and one did not make it. They replaced it for her.She is very happy with them and even got a few lilacs this season. Seems to be a great Lilac.

The lilac bush survived the cold winter and gave a lot of beautiful flowers this spring! Excellent quality, easy to take care of. Flowers were gourgeous purple color with a strong smell(which I love) and relatively big. Strongly recommend to purchas "Ludwig Spaeth purple lilac"
